Love watching Eric talk anything watch related. Great video thank you for the share!

The problem with the authentication centre is that there is no generally binding reference for condition. When for example someone lists a watch as "mint" condition, that does not really mean anything on Ebay, as the authentication centre says that if it's listed as a used watch, there will be scratches, and that's the end of that. Passing authentication really mostly means that the watch is authentic and its functions work.

No essays, had to laugh...so true

[@watchnorthlondon]

Dry wit, some possibly shocking revelations about the tactics of major auction houses, and fabulously informative on the nuances of condition, originality and how to buy.

Such a cool vision of if the Monta did a cyan/tiff/baby dial. Shame in reality it's a a light mint green 😢

[@pilotstyle123]

Very informative and entertaining thank you! It sadly confirms my suspicion, the vintage market has outgreeded and outfrauded me from interest. There is simply too much shenanigans and too little authority and authenticity in this market.

Many years ago, an older gentleman told me there were three ways to lose a fortune : Being a shipowner Owning race horses Enjoying the company of very pretty women One can certainly add : buying high end vintage watches at auctions.

[@donrogan2812]

Any thoughts on making these into podcasts as well?

[@joytekb]

According to specialist with phd in horolohy new watches are not near in terms of quality to the old vintage watches in terms of quality.

$20K for a Rolex service???? Seriously?

[@ericwind2991]

Unfortunately, I even saw an invoice once from Rolex for $30k for a service of a Rolex Submariner reference 6200

[@scuba453]

@@ericwind2991 Thanks for taking the time to reply. Really enjoyed your talk, thank you. Luckily I prefer Omegas so I save a lot of money LOL

[@danchapman5944]

Brilliant talk - thank you Eric

[@67NewEngland]

- This is an interesting lecture but he certainly isn’t talking to a working class collector.

[@frankm4129]

It looks like 1 eye is missing It’s ugly how can it be worth that kind of money Give me a Rolex anyday

For God's sake, please don't ever wear that jacket again.

[@killsbugsfastreallfast]

I think he wears it well. When in Rome….many organizations require attire at a certain level for their members. If you haven’t experienced such organizations, you are missing out. Best to you!
